The clear sky today is so beautiful, like birds spreading their wings for the first time
The two of us can't be found if we stay here…god's laugher still floats around my mind

Overhanging branches make a puzzle, as I gaze above them at the sky
Though you might be next to me for right now, what can I say to keep you by my side?

The strong wind now blows in and you laugh in its breeze, as if you will fly away

Though I know we must be torn apart in endless light, I can't help but stand right here and ask myself "but why?"
Chained down in the ivy made of sadness I don't think I can, just like I am…just like I am…I cannot understand

Among softly lit spots filled with sunlight, the sun has still left oh so many gaps
It reflected and the spots all turned black; how frightening the sun is, perhaps

From somewhere hazy sounds...while I listen to them, sink deeply into my heart

Though I know we will eventually simply forget, I can't help but wonder why your voice must fade away?
Chained down in the ivy made of sadness I don't think I can...from now on I…from now on I…I'll reach out to you

Then the rain fell…and as we looked up, we felt just then that we would fall into the sky

Though I know we must be torn apart in endless light, I can't help but stand right here and ask myself "but why?"
Chained down in the ivy made of sadness I don't think I can, just like I am…it's just like this always...
Though I know you'll never know the way it really is, and though we join hands it seems you're still so far away
Then the ivy made of sadness will gather the rolled up sky; hide it away in flowing light…all hidden away…all hidden away....

The clear sky today is so beautiful...
